>VFP is a better front end tool for SQL than VB. I have never seen a big VB system. Only little programs. I know there are a couple of unfinished VB projects around here. Clients are shopping for VFP re-writes of long-past-the-dead-line VB proposals. I bet there are a lot more out there. Look - if M$ can't figure a way to make money off VFP and xBase - then their compeditors will! I heard Oracle has a great procedural syntax and forms scripting system <g>.

I bet there are some bargains on VB resales (almost new) Yeah - M$ ought to make that product a corporate center-piece . M$ knows whats going on. If they mess up with VFP - I go write Delphi programs <g>

I disagree. VB makes for an excellent front-end to SQL Server and is very capable of being used in large scale enterprise application development in either a client/server or (even better) web environment. VB COM is very powerful and should be considered for ANY database solution.

It's all up to the developer on how well they design their application that determine's its success not the tool they use.
